To the recent poster who mentioned what the frontline medical workers think about completely lifting restrictions, I’ll comment on that. I’m tired of getting home exhausted, going to daily COVID meetings, worrying how my staff is holding up, explaining to family members why they can’t be with their loved ones, working in full PPE for entire shifts, wondering when it started that so many of us care so little about each other that they couldn’t put a small piece of material on their face and how health care providers suddenly became the enemy because we were providing.....science based health care. This has definitely moved up my retirement time line. I’ve been an ED medical director for >30 years and I’ve never been more disappointed in my fellow citizens from a health care perspective.
Hard not to get down when you've experienced what you have and seeing/hearing how others don't understand. Hang in there, we all need you, even if some don't know it. Wife and I had our second shot over a week ago...we are still cautious by wearing masks, not doing groups and being smart about hygiene. At this juncture we're doing this for others more than ourselves. When it is definite we can't still be carriers then we will open up. Don't be disappointed in all of us, I do believe the majority is with you.
